The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular (eye), nasal (Nose) or buccal mucosa (Mouth), changes their genetic code (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

Since the virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.

The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam). By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.

HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.

Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

Any mixture with 1 part of bleach and 5 parts of water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.

NO BACTERICIDE IS USEFUL. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; you cannot kill what is not alive with antibiotic.

NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or rag while it is glued to objects and surfaces, the virus is very inert and disintegrates only between 3 to 4 hours (fabric and surfaces). If you shake it or use a feather or dry duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 to 4 hours, and can lodge in your nose.

The virus molecules remain very stable or active in external cold or air conditioners in houses and cars. They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.

Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down it's protective layer of fat.

NEITHER SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, NOT USEFUL. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.

LISTERINE IS USEFUL! It is 65% alcohol.

The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.

This is very important. You have to wash your hands before and after touching your face, food, locks, k***s, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. And when using the toilet.

Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.

Dapple Dachshund – Not Just A Pretty Coat Color

NOVEMBER 25, 2018 BY JANE PINZHOFFER 2 COMMENTS


Welcome to the complete guide to the dapple Dachshund.
They’re still a Dachshund, but with a dappling pattern.
With their long, low silhouette and spunky, vivacious personality, the Dachshund is one of dogdom’s most iconic breeds.

Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature.
They’re also available in three coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired.
All Dachshunds have only one color.
A pattern in another color, like the dapple, can be superimposed over the base hue.
The dapple design can vary from a huge smattering of splashes to one single spot.
Even dapple Dachshund puppies from the same litter can look entirely different.

In this guide we’ll look at the pros and cons of having an adorable dapple Dachshund in your life.

How Do You Get a Dapple Dachshund?

In order to get dapple Dachshund puppies, one parent must have the dapple pattern.
This pattern is caused by the merle gene.
A dog who has even one barely detectable dapple spot is a dapple.

They should be registered as such, because they will produce dapple puppies who might have more splashed and spots.

What’s a Double Dapple Dachshund?

When both parents are dappled, each will pass on the dapple, or merle gene, to create double dapple Dachshund puppies.
In addition to having even more intricate kaleidoscopic color patches, double dapples usually have large areas of white on their bodies.
If dappling appears on the face, the eyes might be an icy shade of blue.
These characteristics can be quite striking, and some breeders will try to create double dapple puppies for their uniqueness.
Unfortunately, double dappling is associated with serious ear and eye problems, which we’ll look into shortly.

Height and Weight of the Dapple Dachshund

The standard dapple Dachshund will stand from 8 to 9 inches and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds.
The miniature version is considerably smaller, measuring just 5 to 6 inches and weighing under 11 pounds.

Coat and Grooming of the Dapple Dachshund

The smooth or short haired dapple Dachshund is the most popular variety.
Their shining coat won’t shed much and requires only a quick brush once a week.
Long haired dapple Dachshunds require daily brushing to prevent matting.
The short coarse outer coat of the wire haired variety needs to be brushed several times a week with a bristle brush.
Plucking or stripping a few times a year to get rid of dead hairs is a good idea for the wire haired dapple Dachshund.


Temperament and Behavior of the Dapple Dachshund

Despite their small size, dapple Dachshunds are courageous and protective.
A tendency to be suspicious of strangers and scrappy towards other dogs requires early socialization to avoid behavioral problems.
They were developed in Germany in the 16th century as a hunting breed.
Their long, low body was designed for digging into badger dens and their loud bark alerted hunters to their underground location.

Dapple Dachshunds make excellent watchdogs, are very loyal, and have a tendency to be stubborn.

Training and Exercise Requirements of the Dapple Dachshund

For any dog breed, socialization from an early age is important.
A strong-willed, independent breed like the dapple Dachshund can be difficult to train.

The trainer needs patience and consistency.
Children and dapple Dachshunds should never be left alone together.
Remember that the Doxie’s long back is easily injured.
They’ll bite if not handled properly.
Dapple Dachshunds were born to be active.
Two daily walks of moderate length should be enough to keep them in shape.
For this breed, staying fit is vital.
Regular exercise will avoid obesity and build muscle tone to protect their vulnerable back.

Dapple Dachshund Back Problems

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) tops the list of dapple Dachshund health problems.
Their distinctive wiener dog shape means they have a risk 10 to 12 times greater than other breeds.
Of all Dachshunds, 19 to 24% are affected by IVDD.
While some dogs can recover, there is a considerable risk of permanent damage.
This terrible disease can be very painful, and in severe cases causes paralysis.
Ensuring they don’t become overweight and not allowing them on stairs or jumping on furniture is the best way to avoid IVDD in a dapple Dachshund.

Dapple Dachshund Eye and Ear Problems

The sweet, soulful eyes of the dapple Dachshund are prone to a wide array of genetically linked diseases.
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is one of the most serious eye problems.
This degenerative eye disease may result in blindness and affects long haired dapple Dachshund puppies in particular.

Fireworks and Pets:

This is a public service announcement: There will be fireworks tonight. It doesn't matter if they are illegal in your city people will still shoot them off.

More pets go missing on the July 4th and December 31st then on any other days of the entire year. What do these days have in common? FIREWORKS!

Bring your pets inside tonight! Put them in your garage or a spare bathroom. Do whatever you have to do to keep your pets safe! There is no excuse for your pet to become another statistic. Give them some music to help drown out the noise.

Walk your pet on leash for their after dark potty break. Fireworks are so terrifying to dogs that they will do whatever they have to to get away from the sound. Below is a picture of the aftermath of a terrified dog left out with fireworks (not my photo, dog survived but had to have emergency surgery to close huge lacerations) .

Your dog needs to be wearing its collar and tags!!! You dont have tags for your dogs? Use a luggage tag, take a sharpie and write your phone number, I've even seen people use a sharpie and duct tape and IT WORKS! Get your phone number on your pet because unfortunately they cant tell people where they live.

Get your pet microchipped! City of San Antonio gives FREE microchips to city residents and $5 microchips to nonresidents! Just walk in any time they are open. Check out your local animal control, they probably have a great deal too!

You have no excuse. PLEASE keep your pet safe tonight!

Please be a responsible Pet Owner.
In the next 4-8 weeks, you'll all be seeing the "We need to re-home our pet..." posts. These are the people who went ahead and purchased puppies, kittens, rabbits...etc. as Christmas gifts who are suddenly allergic, moving, having a baby, don't have time, their kids won't take care of it, didn't think they'd get so big, didn't think they shed, didn't think they needed food....

Problem is, 90% of unwanted pets end up in kill shelters.

Allow me to break it down for you.

You didn't know you had an allergy? Oops. Don't let the pet suffer, buy some allergy medicine.

You're moving? What city are you moving to that doesn't allow dogs? Bullsh*tville? You have a responsibility to your living, breathing family member to plan ahead to find a house, apartment or condo that will ALLOW your family member. Period. I would be HOMELESS with my pet before giving them up.

Oh, you had no idea you were due to have a baby in 2 months? Didn't know that's how it worked.. Get a dog trainer and remember that the pet was your child first.

Don't have time to let a dog out, or to have a dog just sit next to you while you're home? Really? So they're better off in a shelter than waiting in your house for you to get home? Ok, perhaps get another pet to keep them company or look for a local dog-sitter.

Oh, you mean your five-year-old didn't step up to the plate to feed, walk and scoop p**p like they promised? I guess it's time for YOU to step up and role model for your child.

Wrong size? Not cute as an adult? Sheds too much? Barks? Breathes? Not quite the personality you expected? Look in a mirror, how did you turn out? Should we send you back? 😡

Guess what? If the roles were reversed, your dog would NEVER LET YOU GO.
